if that screen pops up you should stop playing
I'm very close to Lv80 and I won't stop playing until I get it
I'm getting it today no matter what
obliterating your affinity in the process
I don't mind at all
Bro wants them Sirius tiddies.
click the big blue confirm button
Bro speedrunning 0 affinity
Yes, that's what I've been doing. My question remains: Is there any way to have it stop appearing?
no
No
No.
Okay. Thanks 🙏
Someone gotta help his girls out.
At 0 affinity did you gain xp?
Sirius is waiting.
Akashi is calling the MPs as we speak
She better.
is there any good healer for iris libre or vichya dominion?
Wait, who's the MPs again...?
Breadleve.
Painleve
that is not limited and i can somehow get her
why
You running a Iris/Vichya faction fleet?
trying to do reseaching and running them in 12-4, thought i need a healer to survive
you dont need a healer in 12-4
oh i can run without healer in 12-4?
just dont force shitters to fight boss
can i go 2 team then 1 mob 1 boss
yes 12-4 is much easier than you think
You just need gently alive corpses in 12-4 on safe
I bring a single 125 in the boss fleet so they don’t accidentally time out
sure do whatever
ok thx
How long have you been doing 12-4?
probly long enough
more then half year? but i have been running unicorn on auto never actullay look at things lol
will sao martinho be available in this tempesta or only next year? I have never played a tempesta event
is haku's skill2 effectively useless when d30 and used in cv bossing set
..its a barrage
just started playing like the other day, How am I supposed to do this quest, it feels like gas takes so long to run out
do what it says?
Yeah I know but it feels like it's gonna take a solid 3 years before I reach 3k gas
play more
buy dorm food or something if you wanna splurge
Alright, Oh and also, Aside from the dorm thingy, is there another way to level up ships decently fast?
oh i didnt read the 2nd part, is the slash attack any good
take this opportunity to grind levels, event rerun this thursday, you will benefit from it with higher lv fleet
Well maybe the key then is to plan ahead so you don't get caught with your ships down. For example, if you working on plymouth, plan to do brest next, then start raising iris backliners so they're not all useless low level ships when you finish plymouth and start brest.
doing sortie at the highest campaign is your best bet
Long com
Alright, Thanks for the tips guys adios
fight more
yea im doing that now but those ships are hard to get i only have like 4-6 in total counting 1 that is a U
now that UvH is being added to perm pool, is she better than new jersey/shinano?
I've been running 12-1 for years now so 
you can clear 15-4 but you just end up back in 12 for leveling anyway
is this worth making?
shinano is a cv
if you want to use felix or otto yes
I have a lot of good cv's already and not good bb's... so UhV is prolly better for me right? i do have amagi to pair with shinano tho
Ah ok I just need 2 then
saves you from having to waste a ur gun on them
shes perma so theres no rush getting her
What about this, is this better than purple 306?
just wait till u get pity
im almost at pity that's why im asking
what's a purple 306?
depends wht u have then u can choose shinano or uvh
I would take Shinano over those 2 esepcially if you have Amagi CV
after all, why settle for good when you can have one of the best
also how come uvh coming out first before zwei
yeah true, im leaning twords shinano but UhV is the best ship looks wise for me idk
406 I meant
because UvH released well before Zwei
December 2021 vs May 2023
they're completely different guns and no ship can use both
Cuz zwei come after uvh
Oh my bad, I thought it's a bb gun haha\
shinano is more frequently used for top comps
uvh will be rarely used for her gimmick.
nj is... having a bright future
well I would never recc a ship based on looks over perfromance
but uvh came out a rerun before already and zwei never came out for rerun
devs don't say what their plans are
lifes hard

og run > rerun > archive
remember, reruns take over 2 years to do at this point
zwei never even rerun so why should she get WA before uvh who already rerun
im going for shinano then amagi shinano hakuri comp looks op
rip so have to wait more untill zwei comes out
Im in desperate need for bb's tho I have no one worth raising besides nelson
get fdg
yeah like 50 days from haing her fs5
u can coin her
I am coining her, 10 per day sometimes 12
oh nice
its tskes 66 days i think total
73 @ 10
Is there a thread with mega's dock?
FdG and indiana are my only "good" bb's
Indiana is very good
yes she is amazing she's one of my best ships rn
Do you need a powerful bb urgently?
Idk I feel like I have like 10cvs already and only 2 bb's
I want to build opSi comps
3bb, 3cv, mob and torp
I can post bb's its only 1 screnshot
nj is good but u ur cv looks like its more near to complet so just go for ur cv team first
I like to lean towards raising long term units (for example the one that gives tech) if I don't need the power (for example waiting for UR designs or tenrai prints)
would nelson be a long term unit? right now i will raise independance, but again another cv
Yeah kinda, 1 fp worth
this is all my iris and vinchya ships for main lol
she's better than sovetska, my mob bb
Indep is worth the power

@keen sable i dont think i have much choice
that's... very outdated fleeting building... considering you don't have good options, you can always do mixed fleets and throw the idea of 3bb/3cv fleets out of the window. and torp fleet is basically fuzed into mob fleet for fast farming
Queen and fusou meta
wheres fdg? i thought u said u have her
bis and tirpiz are only for lab xp mission
i have forgot to put ur filter my bad
Then rodney magato revenge renown nelson
isnt nelson retrofit she becomes gold?
magato
nagato
nagato meta?
If you want more power yeah nelson and hood
is nelson > sovestkaya?
if i were u retrofit ur noslon
answer is still NJ
dont have : (
Do you have the URins?
i think the best is jsut complet the bb team first
Yes, have 4 (I only pulled 1 ur ever)
ignore ur cv team, i assume ur amagi isnt even mlb right?
Okay then maybe UvH worth
she is
Why are you guys recommending pure bb fleets , clearly most of them are shit
Just slap a BB with Amagi and enterprise and you are fine
he needs fdg and nj to become good
my cv team melts bosses my bb's tickle them
how?
good for now at least
Fdg will be ready next month for opSi
let it be known that bismarck is trash 📣
im raising idependance, entry and wondering if I should raise nelson
Run Indiana Amagi and Enterprise , you should be focus on maxing those three , not starting more medicore BBS
yeah shes dogshit I only used her for fdg and agir missions
Is it cause the resistances don't actually do anything anymore?
So I should just deploy mixed fleets?
so the 2nd team is dogwater?
Yeah bbs are although cheap, have lower ceiling than cvs
You should be focusing on leveling enterprise to replace that indomitable
Kearsarge-Yorktown 2
and Soyuz-Nahkimov are starting break the trend of mono backlines but they're more the exceptions
Tbh just run whatever in opsi until you get a root. Mix em all whatever, put ur strongest ship
ok I am leveling her yes, i only oathed indomi cuz was my first sr
have entry skill at lvl10 already too
Why recommend pure bb fleet when your pure bb fleet have to resort to Nelson and Bismarck etc
of those, I only have Soyuz
Thanks tho
My opsi is going fine
Isn't the issue is not being able to find a BB to level?
Do I put tenrai on amagi or enty
kinda is, I feel like I have no bb's to raise
so raise entry and independance for now and just wait for better bb's
You can level stuff like hood and Nelson for campaign but you won't use them in opsi
then its not worth I think im chilling on 12-4 for a while
that's the attitude of people who haven't raised oknvpacatn.
the what
oknvpacatn
Amagi CV has slighlty better output damage, unless you are doing it for timing (unlikely)

I don't follow at all
is that a new siren playable
who is this ship
i was never following
both enterprise first, her skill is reliant to her gear
is it another pimont
This is how they’re both looking, ig enty is more of the boss sniper, any fighter recs for amagi
Ohhhh ok thanks
California, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Nevada, Oklahoma
Oh, I guess Enty is the right choice here then like what the person below me said, bcs your Amagi is mob built
QE is hit tech though, and Fuso META is also reload tech
Zamn okays
Thanks
If you want to level BBs just level the tech fodders as I said up there, queen and fusou meta if you can get them ready at high level, else nelson or the other +fp ship who are ready for 12-4
This too. Wait I don't see them on the fleet
for mega's dock, he doesn't have enough bbs. not much point in getting nj for pursuing that.
and by resistance you mean the damage reduction from abyss bosses? those are still effective but newer ships just have much more damage to brute force them. and as mentioned, the trend is kear+yk2, soyuz+nahk, mixed fleets tend to be the top comps
musa used to be in good for nano haku, until amagi kicks her out
Any off tank recommendations other than Eldridge retro
Anything else with enough bulk
thank you, I will do that. Just level entry and independance and tech fodders 
Sandykai?
shiny ship syndrome
if this is for campaign, drop ryusei and put parallel torp on enty
I told mega to post em all and mega left the rares and commons
wait those ships are actually good?
Oh ok I have another wyvern
no but if you aren't going to raise a ship to use then raise a ship for tech. you're just wasting xp there.
okok
Sorry I don't see the nevada and oklahoma and tenessee and cali there
Guys I have so much more stats than what is required for this lvl but am still failing
Got any tips as to why?
are you trolling me
fail how?
I die at the boss fight
You didn't send it before...
sorry..
That's alright, I don't get mad
This is just 3-1 hard mode and I think I am quite overleveled
Before I call it a day, does Amagi CV beat Hakuryuu in all armor types or Hakuryuu has a slight edge on Light armor?
don't fight everything? use better gear? if all else fails try LB1 ships. 3-1H isn't hard enough for that to fail under expected circumstances.
What's LB1 ships?
Are you trying to 3 star it or just clear
Just clear
limit break 1
Idk maybe it’s a damage issue?
They are LB1 except Lexington
Also just say goodbye to bbs as essex said, and get shinano for one of the most powerful CV
Shinano will come home when I get to pity
haku still leads against light
How do y'all get equipment? Like is the main way to get gear is by crafting or completing stages?
more limit breaks will help, probably. assuming they arent lbd
Maybe unique means lb2
Tech box
shinano amagi op, how long did it take for you guys to get haku at dev30?
free stuff
Do these reset monthly?
also use the 'adjust' feature and put pennsylvania on flag, and put helena in the center
Oh sad… then what shld I be buying here?
When is next UR event
Taking notes bcs I have no Kearsarge mlb yet, and probably sticking to the shinano comp, thanks
Nowadays with catchup and stuff, not that long. I'm kinda debating on whether I should recommend catching up haku or just focus on protocores
Looks like you have enough to buy everything
free stuff 
On that screenshot I mean
im at 106 haku printsm, still have 70 cathup left
I haven’t bought anything in the store yet
Nah he has 5k vouchers bro Fym he can’t buy everything in the screenshot
Is there a shop priority infographic for the two shops in op si?
I would buy tuning, loggers, then hidden and then confidential
It may be easy or not, but burning those in one go isn't a good idea
Do note that the vouchers carry over
telling someone to buy tuning with vouchers is just bad taste
i wouldn't buy tuning if voucher poor...
Since voucher carry over, buying tuning bad
Damn I did that when I started OpSi why is it a bad idea
Because you don’t need it
because you can just farm ops. you're SUPPOSED to farm ops
yeah you get hundreds from just playing
Am I behind in terms of the stats for this month?
I still haven’t attempted the center boss
maybe, it depends on how much you play
Okay lol I just like to go for strongholds and abyssal first so I buy tuning
Buy 5k oil thingy, use ap boxes, press auto for corrosion lower than 4, voila about 30 zones cleared
~~grinding c1 just made my adapt 800+ across the board... probably will reach 1k soon
~~
I just clear all the dailies without entering the red spirals
What’s C1
And then buy tuning from port shop, cheaper than buying with vouchers iirc
It has a limit tho
So shld I be clearing random tiles besides the dailies and gold chests?
90 is base, plus everything from them should be almost 180
How do I raise her intimacy level? I'm stuck at Lv3 180/400
I just got 80 medals. Should I save or buy someone?
feed her flowers and stuff
And then the rest you can get from mysterious merchant and then just buy adapts there
wow , sadly im lvl 79 cant even do it
Saving is good, buying someone is good, cant tell which is worth without context
Saving is always at least as good as buying
I am new and lvl 40
What a nothingburger of an answer
it is. 20 vouchers vs 50 vouchers. but also still completely unnecessary.
grind corrosion 1 over and over. ap cost on average is 5 but ap gain on average is also 5 for each run. so you can just run it forever, in theory. the truth behind it is you are converting opsi coins into ship exp and cmdr level
you don't want to do that, trust me... it's only for bored late game and cost you your life
Idk I need adapts so I can auto stronghold and abyssals
They might need it to clear higher Cs
is there anyway to unfuck the reload times if I mix oathed and unoathed cv's or I can just ignore it for now? I keep seeing that oathing messes timings
farm ops...
And get something like 15 adapts each for 40 zones auto cleared
Isn't it? Or am I tripping?
Well you have an entire month to do everything, just by using your AP you’ll easily get enough adapts to hit the effective cap
In current medal shop, who is the best?
What are your choices
Just take a screenshot of both the choice menus because medal shop differs server to server
What level was it again when a lb0 CVL goes from 2 oil cost to 3 oil cost? Lvl 33ish?
Get enty
K
anyone remember which UR ship released before UR yorktown or UR bismark ?
Bz should be before yt2
Musashi was before Yorktown 2, Implacable was before Bismarck Zwei
Can yall help with fleet building?
make a thread
Yt2 at en anniv?
Yorktown was the December UR
"December"
Musashi, yt2, implac, bz?
Well late December early Jan
get bis or tirpitz if you have bb option
as not getting them means you will have to farm war archive or wait for ib event to have enough tech point to get fdg
I see then
What ship types are recommended for guild operation Solomon for the siren fight at the end
CV, CV is only CV this month
Started playing during unzen event
ask, what NJ equipment that is suitable for Sync with Helena?
Already got enty...

well, just wait for next month i guess. that is out of your control 
I mean ddgqsb is technically right, if
good ships, BB fleet works
triple 406 mk6/mle
Help me make a fleet pls. I got some other 1 stars too.
the bar to clear it is kind of low and is more of a team effort that your guild hits it enough times
that helena isn't LB1...
Ohh yeaaa
must be really awful gear to fail 3-1H with LB2+ ships 
I can't find gear man..
Mle is the Gold Ap one?
@coral summit
I don't even have enough auxiliary to give all my ships the gear
Ch3 is plane "hell" right?
just whale the lv70 pack and you get a lot of gears 
gold AP one is so fucking vague
more 4 than 3
so the elite?
I've been scolded once for this advice lmao
you asked “mle is the gold ap one” when there’s several gold ap guns in the game
bosses shouldn't be too bad. it's the 3* aviation nodes that cause unrepairable backline damage
What about vanguard?
Yea my penny always dies
and then you need to put that free gear on the correct ship
Is there any guide on how to get all items?
While my Vanguard is on ull HP
I put all my free gear on javelin. Is that bad?
im very used to get scolded 
but anyway, that pack did help skipping the worst part of gameplay for beginners, very good experience boost for non f2p
can i have specifik Aux too? also the Helena
We should use other words, replace "buy" with "support the game"
Y'all my fleet pls......
Depends on content
probably since like only three of it can even go on javelin
your fleet is fine. if you want to book em enty and insta mlb go ahead but ships aren't why you fail at 3-1H
Got any recommended gears?
only wanna make it Sync i ithink? sorry my english bad
I kinda think that early game, cvs are ash
can't even do 3-1H without two cv so...
What is insta mlb?
Is there any good bb they can book?
Good bb with mk6 will smack multiple waves and protect as flagship
97 exp books + 4 bulins = instant max limit break
put sg radar on helena
no need if you remove the hpfcr from new jersey
Did Kiyuiung showed their dock?
you either SG radar helena and high performance fire control radar NJ or you put neither on
they are still at the beginner fleet stage 
only maryland. not worth imo. penny has worked for years.
Damn yeah
Unfrotunate. I started lil E on Cons event and she was godsend when I boost her with the packs
maryland imo would require maryland, unicorn, portland, phoenix opening. you give up on helena or maybe wait a refresh but that would put helena behind and waste xp.
now only if they had amagi chan
Haku chan when, full cv chan against magato
is smolgato a fox or a cat?
probably, you're already attacking it with a 50% damage boost
-50% damage increase
And how do I get more gear?
isn' she already small
Compose boxes to purple tier, open them
try putting the existing gear in the right place first
What gear where?
Show depot with "equipped: on"
hmm where'd the purple hellcat go...

are there teams for the current challenge already?
Purple corsair where
What's that
Nvm
Woah woah woah, bricked?
Oh no
Had me for a sec
Alright one of our team will should be giving you the equips in a moment
K
are you sure you're not trying to kill everything?
I am
Upgrade the mk6 to plus10, aviation oil tank plus6, ap shell plus6, purple cl gun helena is using plus6
K
Doing
Can you do this?
Do you have a gold box available at guild shop?
Swap jav's dd gun and helena's dd gun
There we go
Opened 8 of them. Only got 2 purples
What are those?
Thanks! What about in the empty spots?
you didn't show anything that could go there. well blue octopoms which are just terrible
steering gear on portland but as you said dps is the issue
click the paw
Autoloader for portland and the gold gun for portland might help
K
Like worse than ghost gun?
Paw?
paw yes
if you've got the purple parts try penny's gun to +7
cat hand
K
Time to replicate 3-1 lethal 3 star with a mahan and ranger
i'm surprised a mlb javelin with decent gear couldn't solo 3-1H. maybe she is the worst starter after all
Yeah torp ships are just kinda bad early on
javelin is worse later on
It gave me a secret code

/wiki akashi_questline
theres no code lol just click the paw
Check the link
what even are the merits of Akashi quest
You get funny animal
gives u akashi
but why would a new player want akashi
inb4 next 5 SR are akashi and rage quit
ijn tech
I’d argue it’s better to leave Akashi quest alone for the copium of not diluting light pool
just adding one more to the pool it wont affact much
its not like u will keep getting her anyway
still a greater negative effect than the 9 tech points you get from obtaining her
can’t forget about the -1 dock space
Sorry I'll move to algen
I copied the gear exactly except changed towel to +13 gold burn and made all oxytorps and torps +13. I had 2 less avi tech, a little less vanguard offense tech, and a lot less vanguard survivability tech (notice that they hacked max tech). And I got 2/3 kill assist and 1/2 kill with barrage because apparently -2 avi equals -10% damage
doing my assists now I'm pretty sure this was the spot I was trying to get out of around day 10
someone claiming 100% oneshot with implac? 
well close to, but I don't see this being significantly more reliable than 3floofs
3floofs have significantly more headroom for whiffing
comps with Implacable have significantly less headroom to whiff
yeah, best implac fleet i've seen is 70% ish oneshot rate, which is lower than alsace fleet. implac damage is too low
well today's assists look good but I whiffed 2/3 yeseterday so at this point it's 50%
granted my Unzen isn't oathed
Real implac always do less than 300k, but the paper somehow had implacable doing over 300k every time
And there's no physical hit rate or tenrai things with implacable
either paper is wrong or game is "lag eating" torps again, but iirc it was fixed long ago
I mean the paper is also just someone testing the fleet, I just wonder what nagic they did on their AL
Implacable has very little variance, I have basically max main fleet tech and testing with full +13 gear including La-9
Yeah I trust magic more than nagic
basically the comp at best does around 110%? damage, while 3 floofs do like 120-130%
the whiff margin is just entirely different even if Implacable whiffs less
what augment should i give to houshou meta?
also, CN tests indicate emulator is affecting oneshot rate, due to performance
for what it's worth my 1/3 was on my ROG7 and my 2/3 is on LD
can u tell me how i can decide with augment is the best for certain chars?
scepter for all carriers
best result is from mumu
i just switched from ld yesterday, haven't tested it but mumu does have better perf in other aspects
for carriers it's basically just sceptre if no unique aug 
I'll give this a week or so but I don't see it improving
at least the old floof comp I was using I could still improve by making the third VIT +13
I also tested on both phone and mumu
Should only affect timing; dmg only as a secondary effect so to say right?
ld crashes when i enter 3d dorm for the first time, daily. mumu is fine
my AK crashes frequently when play Sarkaz roguelike which is the main reason i switched
im not sure tbh, if it's just timing, the result should be almost same
maybe it's time to go back to mumu
CN version can no longer sideload external apps?
Huh so that crash is a general LD thing
mumu has english version so idk about CN version
I actually used mumu CN for quite a while until they no longer supported non-CN apps, global version never quite caught on for me
let me try...
I kept that mumu install back then because it was from arknights CN beta days
But how does more lag change anything about dmg hmm I doubt it skips hits 
Timing mogador stab
I watched my mogador freeze the boss and the boss just sidestepped 100% of torps on phone
implacable not affected though, unless you're missing torp debuff window
Yeah implacable not affected
unless it's the vanguard torps whiffing
I meant triple IJN CV
it's working for mumu CN
yeh I'm pretty sure ~280k is pretty much Implacable's ceiling
thanks guess I'll migrate again this weekend...
why are you using mog in implac fleet? 
vanguard torp support
unless you have a better suggestion
mog is great for dragging the vanguard in for pseudo facetorping
helena
I don't game helena procs
Helena does 80something% win rate on asissts for me, 1 scan is often enough but sometimes misses
Helena should have lower self damage and also gives you lower torp potential, though usually one proc should send you over
is that an apk install?
yup, got it from pure apk
k
im going for 3 stars on 15-4, should i kill the hard bb or escort mob with my last ammo
Well you need to kill all three and I doubt your boss fleet can clean it up
is there some reason you want to 3-star it on lethal 
kill the main fleet
there's at least 4 mob nodes left on that map
You could've just read the 8 top left
Hmm that's also clearing mode 
wasn't clear without zooming into that icon, it also didn't look like what I was used to might be font change
It's completely unreadable and has been since it was added 
it used to be readable for ONE patch
okay wtf that looks so much better
Damn why did they make the number black 
i reported many times and as expected, nothing happens
like you guys blame JP for some shit but sometimes I have no idea why EN makes life difficult for itself 
but this is different?
Classic
Anyway good luck with clearing those 8 fleets
this is a bug, the one we blame JP for is intentional design
unless you have a very good idea what you're doing there's no point trying to lethal 3-star anyway
that or you got lucky with Houston II drop early and just want to peace out with the gems
they have Aquila but chose to use Musashi in the other fleet
I just go when I see blue
so they broke the counter font when it's not 0
nvm im cooked
do it on safe
0 also broken, that's old image
3 stars another day ig
just get to safe first
please tell me you don't need to retreat out of this one
if you're repeating trying to lethal 3-star without clearing you're really just wasting oil
Full lethal with clearing mode off or you can't flex
Clearing mode already gets rid of super cvs?
I think so
it does
No
, no boss debuff, lower acv, cheap oil
Should I use my UR Bulin on New Jersey or Amagi CV?
Amagi cv
Ty
Hi, when should I start focusing on gearing ships I just finished 6-4
as early as you can, starting with poverty gear
most of that should not be hard to get from consistently opening purple boxes or better
gear makes the most difference 
Oh okay
generally poorly geared good ships will be worse than properly geared mediocre ships
Is there a guide that has ship loadouts
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment gearing is based on what you're doing, not the ships you use
Oh okay thank you
generally for the same content most ships of the same hull class will use similar loadouts
context is based more on what you're tackling rather than the ship in question
For right now what should I focus on?
Clearing campaign stages
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips should still apply
what should i focus on? 
Amagi chan

what exactly is a tempesta event? i don't think i know anything about this, like a faction? or some sort of collab?
Are any of PR7 useful?
Faction of Ghost Ships
tempesta is a faction of pirates. its a standard, non collab event. the last couple of years, its been the halloween event. royal fortune, golden hind, mary celeste are a few we already have. more are coming soon with the announcement.
Named after sailing/pirate ships and are a bunch of pirates.
Think Kraken, ye olde cannons, and Pirates of the Caribbean
Mary Celeste and SaoMarthinho tho
Should I start making another fleet?
depends, are u in W9 ? so yes, u should start
the gear or the ships?
just finished 6-4 means no
someone said tempesta is more like submarines but shoot cannons instead of subs
Both
I missed their release and are catching up (unless it's still too early for people to have maxed them)
is there some sort of niche fleetbuilding with tempesta?
theyre not all submarines anymore
their one niche is the tempestas that go in sub fleets can completely trivialize the sub weekly
some of the carrier gear is top tier and i think i saw that nakhimov was good for bossing
Will keep that in mind. Thanks
both Russian Planes in PR7 are gud, TB one a bit more niched, LA-9 best Rocket fighter for medium
Nap best Tanker in game, Neko gud CV with high dmg with a rare to active rot effect so its plausible that u still run Impla/AvP for that
and heavy
who are you calling heavy
esdeath
clearly it's Amagi
but i'm 172cm tall and 75kg
pretty short buff up for the winter arc 
Is gear lab the only place to farm more gear now
Research still reliable source of gears, specially Auxes, things like HPFCR, Rudder came from there ...
Also now that I'm done with haku and agir, is any of the coinable rainbow ships worth doing now?
if u already done with FdG, them pretty much no, but Drake exist, so if u are without any to do and her still not FS5, them u have wut do now
What is FS5
fatesim 5
done with haku and agir but doesnt know what fate sim is
Should I do cheshire
I mean fate sim wise I will have to snipe research quite a bit anyway
She is quite poggies for aa my comrade and a pretty good waifu I would recommend to do so
well it would also depend on ur situation of researching but other then that

Do UR ever only have one or two skills like some SRs and Es?
warspite
retro URs yes
some DRs only have 2 skills (drake)
gacha URs always have 3
I see
- store URs
event URs
are 6 +10 pr rudder ok? or is it better 12 for full potential on opsi bossing?
the only thing giving me trouble in opsi is hard mode arbiter wich is kind of a skip usually
depends on who you use, you dont use rudders on dds
yep, i don't use dds often for now
its tedious but you can just swap around if you need it
more rudders just means less swapping around
yeah, already swapping the main fleets equip with presets
i guess i can do it for vanguard too
the more the merrier, youll run out of usage for purple generals eventually
I think toolbox is still really useful tho
yea
how good is houston 2?
Average gold like montpelier
she's basically collection fodder by the time you get her
at most you'll raise her to lvl 120 for her fleet tech since she's CL FP
could probably use her on 15 lethal unlike say nubian
yo, nowadays people without topnotch stuff can do 15-4 full auto 100% ?
what about full lethal clears the real way to clear stages 
a friend asking if he can safelly farm for Hou2 ... so, saddly i will bring bad news
Is there a way to get fleettech for harbin without 120ing or waiting on a banner
The Dragon Empery (cn: 东煌, jp: 東煌, kr: 이스트 글림) is one of the major nations in Azur Lane and represent the Republic of China Navy during World War II and the People's Liberation Army Navy from the 1950s. As the name suggests, the nation's symbol is a Chinese dragon.
They are are allied with the Azur Lane, who represent the Allies from World War I...
Anything here worth it ?
how rewarding are the fractured/hidden zones in opsi? (should i even do the purple/blue loggers?)
Me who used rudder on Laffey 2 bcs ectl says so (it feels wrong)
This may sound silly, but I have enough Protocore for Tenrai. Should I pick one up now or wait till I get PR Prints for the 2nd first? (I currently have 25/50 Tenrai Prints)
isn't it a tank item? and laffey 2 is a tank, so she can use it to stack more evasion than humanly possible
It doesn’t really matter if in the end you still get 2 tenrais
Tho be aware that they might add tenrais to gear lab
She has enough eva already, you’d benefit more from running hp auxes
DDs already have boatloads of EVA by default which means EVA gear on a DD has more diminishing returns compared to if you put it on a CA/CL/CB as those hulltypes have less EVA stat
She has more evasion to begin with as a DD, plus her ignore skill for 2 seconds, would prefer dmg or speed for that
oh the point is that it's an eagle union item
she needs an eu item in some slot to get an aa buff and none of her other top gear is eu
You either sacrifice AA gun or go Elite Manjuu for it
hit rate has a floor where no matter how much evasion a ship has, enemies still have a 10% chance to hit
ectl says toolkit and manjuu/tear
Can’t u just run elite damage control on her
if it isn't attached to Helena which it usually is
Do anyone have a fleet that can beat Arbiter hard in op siren, I have every ship in the game and need a template to start building towards
Is there a difference between 210 and 268
Can Amagi cv replace Shinano (heavy cv boss fleet)?
Need flag?
preferable, but not necessary 
none of the UR CVs really strictly need flag to function
I was going to say Shinano but her barrage sucks so 

This recommendation says otherwise (really weird)
It's to trigger this if you don't have American guns equipped:
When the battle starts, if this ship has Eagle Union gear or weapons equipped
that's why the report is higher priority, cause it's better than a Washing Machine for a DD
sir it says toolkit and manjuu/tear press on the 2nd aux
also yeah that
ectl needs more foolproofing to their UI, like a big red button with the retweet symbol
Welp you probably know where to give such feedback
Are Breguets worth using if I'm poor, and cannot craft more Wyverns?
Worth using yes , worth buying not really
I have quite alot of Core Data, so price isn't really a problem for me. Thanks for the answer.
breguet would be good to buy if you’re low on wyverns and pushing hard worlds, but you basically dont need it after you get 3 wyverns
for core data you can get shells, sub gear and cv timing adjust auxes
There are a infinite number of better stuff to buy
after that you can consider getting some of the ships in there for tech
by that time a third wyvern should be within reach anyway
Well, I don't have enough resources to craft the thrid, and I already bought lots of shells and timing auxes. So I suppose I'll get the Breguet.
should kitakaze be in front of vanguard?
By the way, should I put a Fighter, or a Dive Bomber, in Impero's first aircraft slot for farming world 13?
No
Fighter is generally best due to all the planes
but her skill requires it, right?
Doesn’t mean you should use it
You should upgrade her to FS5 honestly which removes the position requirement
oh lol ok ty
Even when not fate sim there is another part to the skill 
The lead ship requirement is only for the 10s barrage anyway
The rest of the skill still functions as normal
i see, kind of confusing to read
I have 2 CVs (Amagi, and Unicorn), and some AA vanguards in the same fleet. Should I put a Dive Bomber if enemy aircraft isn't an issue?
My thoughts on that is you’re gonna take lots of extra suicide boat damage with 3 CVs
Suicide boats aren't a thing in w13
I’m probably thinking of W14
Iff you have impero why isnt she with unicorn
I meant I already have 2 CVs (Amagi, and Unicorn) alongside Impero in the same fleet. So should I put a Dive Bomber in Impero's first slot when enemy aircraft isn't an issue?
I don't know if I should value a faster airstrike loading time, or increased dmg for the second airstrike...
Running fighters is often more about staggering your airstrike then aa , you will almost always stagger better with a fighter
what are the meta meowfficers?
steel
does accuracy do anything for CVs? I assume no?
yes
ok, I was trying to figure out if I should go staag or twin 57 on unicorn
Can eldridge replace implac?
unless you have literally a dozen 57s, stagg
in some contexts yes, quite s few others though no
it's my 3rd, currently have the other two on shimakaze/brest (brest one can probably move just been lazy)

It’s been a long time since I did operation Siren, but is there an optimal grind for materials and blueprints so I can build the non-crate equipment?
Is the us dd gun worth to craft if i’m using NJ or some dd aux gun BB at w14?
yes
Also, are these okay alr?
The fleet refers to
#1294584871947337728 that I made days ago, I just grinded brest that’s why I’m gone
a few minor things aside they look fine
no amagi chan
cv fleet 
for me it's omni fleet → BB fleet → CV fleet → Junk fleet 

would be funny if you're device crashes during that 
Is Amagi CV that much of a good ship to invest in?
yes
Is Amagi Chan that much of a good ship to invest in?
Gacha UR Pog, shrimple as that
in two dossier additions
QE got added, then it's Algeire
then it'llbe JintM
whats the interval usually between each?
QEM Dossier: Sept 5th
AriM Dossier: March 14th
take that as you will
unfortunate
just use anchorage or felix
what research options are the best to get these? i feel like i haven't gotten one in weeks, is it just rng from any PR4 research?
very rng from rigging analysis > comission > cognition > grant donation
yeah guess just unlucky.. getting the last 7 will take a while ig
do other PR give these prints too or is it only PR4
yea getting the last 9 ^ will take a while
damn, running PR4 research just to get the last 7 will be kinda annoying since im almost done with haku FS5. is it really troll to do pr4 just to get the last 7 prints if im done with all the ships lol
just focus on rigging analysis over haku cognition
hmm ok i'll focus those then thanks
Wat would be an ideal loadout for amagi ch chp 15. I’m also trynna get her mvp for affinity
Hi guys, I could beat 12-1 but I cant beat 12-3 so where I should farm now? or what to do? I mean how to get gear? or how do I know what I can use with every ship? and not endgame gear because I wont be able to get it
farm 12-1 for exp, what level is your fleets at?
if they're not all 120 then just sit at 12-1 and farm exp there until 120
I am using this team
unicorn is 120
Y is laffey ur tank
unicornn is worth 125, swap hiei meta and amagi CV with someother ships
have you been doing operation siren? you can get gear from there
That laffey is 5 stars too 
Flap, and 2 spearfish/wyverns
I have these ones, which one I should lvl up?
Laffey can only go to 5 stars
I thought spearfish was poo against wyvern?
Should I use another one as tank?
whoever told you that is dumb
yeah I mean it's not laffii because it is 5 stars
that portland right there
portland is fine as tank, retrofit her though
I am but I am not sure where to buy/get gear
You’re 5 stars
oki
so is amagi-chan
Wat does spearfish do better than wyvern

Better single target damage helps kill elites faster
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Gear_Lab_Priority.jpeg
look into the gold gear (not URs) for things to prioritize
you go to the gear lab to craft gear (home screen -> lab -> gear lab)
I used spearfish over wyverns in W15 personally 
Doesn’t it suffer against med and heavy or am I being delusional
Delusional
So I should replace laffey for portland right?
Fair. Also how many over 3 carriers cause don’t the interception on wyvern come in handy?
yes
for crafting gear, prioritize your cvs/bbs gear first since they'll be doing the majority of your damage
you either has enough AA or not enough AA
1 substitute doesn't mean that much
Noob question, which ones are cvs/bbs in the pic above?
your backline (main fleet)
CV = carrier
BB = battleship
so amagi cv, unicorn, etc
but I am biased towards wyvern though because suchi said so
But I dont see CV in the pic xD
or I am blind
CV is the plane icon
so basically prioritize getting planes for your aircraft carriers and main guns for your battleships
I think you can do /guide and visit samheart's link and go to gear guide
@broken chasm https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment
Uh.. can i ask what's trp mean? Cuz i can't do this map because of it ._.
how's this Sirius loadout?
not very good
torpedo stat
it's mostly poverty cause I don't got most of the good stuff
well,it's all poverty thinking about it
Oh tysm
doesn't mean you should go around +10'ing awful stuff
I already had a +10 Quint and Chicago lying around
His statement still applies
You shouldn't have done those in the first place
But better you know that now than never
at least the Chicago can be upgraded into a Quad Bofors and you get the plates back
I don't have good AA dammit =~=
that Quint Mag though 
twin 113 is good
only have one gold Quad
and the quad purple bofors are fine
already used on my boss vanguards
gold quint mag > gold nonmag tech box quint 
should I just use this then
Gold Mag Quint: Bad damage per torp, bad reload speed
still better than nonmag
It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
what torpedo should I use use then
at least it hits stuff......
i didn't say anything about the torp...
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/533mm_Quadruple_Torpedo_Mount#Type_3-0 this is the transitional torp to use before you have good gold ones
that is literally shit
and no the gold non-mag quint is far better than the gold mag quint
If you want to post purposely bad advice go do it in general
other people keeps bashing me cause I'm using quint-
if thats the best you have rn, then use it
how this then
it doesn't make a serious difference on her but i prefer triple mag poverty
thats arguably worse
the thing about opinions is everybody has one
I'm just using what I got to the best of my abilities
aa is better. torp is worse
the new AA you put is indeed better
I haven't even been playing this game for half a year 
I don't have a lot of good gears,my only rainbow gear is Fire tablet
what
this
oh that
6 months and no wyvern 
what's a wyvern-
Best parallel tb with intercept
at least they're not stuck at 11-3, right?
what you should be getting when doing opsi
I'm at 12-2 rn
better than 11-3,
and didnt need the collabrative help of gph
it's funny how much better the Wyvern is in-game compared to real life
grind in 12-1 instead tbh, it's easier
never really found problems with 11-1 but k then
12-1 also gives more coins + xp which is pog
W12 has no suicide boats
try raising all bad ships at the same time like that sirius
Never had problems with suicide boats
not a difficulty issue, but 12-1 is more rewarding
no suicide boats also lets you use some truly bad ships and not worry about them dying before you're done all the trash mobs
12 is more XP but lower XP/oil, though you can bring significantly lower level ships without concern
I mean Sirius(she's on my mob fleet) doesn't really have that much problem with surviving cause Uni helps with it living
but 12 is better overall because it also drops chips and aug stones
the big one or just the exp one?
XP
you can drag ships in their 70s-80s through without fear a freak shell or burn will drop the ship
wait can a full fleet of lvl 100's do 12-1
cuz it isnt working for me
if you're running out of aug cores for a start stop making so many augs, particularly unique ones
if I remember correctly some here said something along the line
lvl to 70 with exp books then limit break
lvl to 90 with more books
start grinding it at your grinding stage
I barely make augs
you can but depends on ships and gear
then you just need to play for longer for resources to stockpile
it was 1 blue 2 grey BB
and like 3 purple dds
I got like a total of like- 5 or 6 generic augs
iirc from my testing last year triple mag torp is roughly same as standard gold quad torp, its not worse
i was talking abt the sirius build but thx for the info tho
oh mb 
you still want some sort of AA lul
not much, but still some AA
is Sirius's CV buff an always active one?
do i need to do this
if you're not bringing carriers and healers the bar raises a bit for gear and skills somewhat
i think thats the problem lol
actually putting Sirius on mob fleet is good enough right?
did suchi write a code just for this
most efficient affinity/oil grind?
raid event
good enough for what? your sirius is kind of useless with all SL1
I'll work on it
grinding up Nelson and Sandy's skill rn
daily raid?
I only have 2 slots give me a break
no, raid events, which isn't available most of the time
what's this for 
proving non mags are worse
bro wrote a simulation code for it
oh :(
for showing that gold quint mag is not bad
outside of that, just pick a farming spot and try to rig the mvp for your desired ship
if vanguard ship then gl
vanguards you can 1-1C before leveling, not that I seriously recommend it 
manual affinity 🚮
should i do 12/13-4?.. it cost about 2300oil with double repeated sortie
it's ~1940 oil for 3 runs of 12-4 with double XP book
just play normal ™
is there some reason you're trying to rush affinity than just normally using the ship
idk. what do you want to do?
just oathed my izumo lol
and she's capped?
yeah thankss, i thought there is a better efficient method
still 117/200
level
rip oil
just use her to carry some shitters for leveling
it's just dumb running a capped pr ship through anything before 12-1. if you hate coins and xp you can do it i guess.
so should i do farm below w12?
do you hate coins and xp?
you're going to be wasting oil regardless, just use her to carry shitters on 12+
noo i want coins
ahh makes sense.. tyy.. also does reducing ships in fleet affect oilcost in auto run?
not if you don't go below cap
No reason to do that in W12, it's effectively free XP
hummu
then don't farm below chapter 12. izumo will cost the same no matter what. the question is what else you will get out of your time.
"mobbing"
https://streamable.com/52rgqa
tyy guys
Which 3 UR BBs should I run if I'm not looking for syncing/buffing? Just raw damage output.
inb4 someone says damage/accuracy doesnt matter on mob because overkill or something, then just point to the "shells hit" column
syncing/buffing gives the highest damage output.
And sync or not sync, the best depends on the boss
medium
try biszwei alsace soyuz, but subbing Vanguard in for Soyuz will be close better or worse
tyty!
what about on shorter fights where the 5 extra seconds per salvo vs gold quad mag means the difference between another salvo or not
which is you know, most fights in this game
short battles would "favor" one or the other reload time, but mob battles have semi-random lengths so it's not useful to think about that
well mob battles have an absolute limit of 180 seconds anyway so that favours quicker reloads to begin with
unless you can kill enemies so quickly you're done before the quicker reload can finish reloading
if your fleet is taking the whole 3 minutes to clear one stage youre doing something very wrong
You have to be consistently clearing a stage in less than the reload time of the Quad torps for quint to be better
which isn't hard most of the time, sure
im not sure who mentioned quad mags
you can cherry pick battle lengths that show quint non mag better than quint mag, but those battle lengths are much fewer than half
I just got Nahikamov, what planes should I give her?
Same as other CV, depends on content
Also maybe wait until she's dev30
How good is zuihou compared to other healer CVs ?
Anyway to get these without having to do the daily meta fights
Sigh...back to the fields I guess
in terms of secondary healers, better than Ryuuhou, worse than Aquila/Volga
I see i see
Thanks for the input. Already oathed perseus, aquila, and volga. Was wondering if zuihou is worth it
Should I be grinding coins for events or do we usually have enough daily grinding while the event is on?
Grinding in event rerun is very easy compared to normal event
how many coins would you reccomend holding?
You definitely don't get enough coins from grinding events unless you're daily grinding a shit ton, i.e more than campaign
Wheres your unicorn
I'm not into unicorn
At least 100k before events that you intend to build
but you were considering zuihou??
As rule of thumb around 50-60k at start of event is fine.
more like 150k
Hahaha, yeah, i'm more casual in playing this game
I'm only at world 9 atm, someone recomended 9-1 at my level since I'm still new, would you reccomend trying to push farther?
I usually do 10-20 pulls in new event ships. Only 3 pulls in event rerun
if your fleet is capable to push further, by all means push ahead
If you want to farm normal stages, do highest stage you can auto run comfortably
like/dislike aside, uni is the best overall healer in game, you can consider using her just for the performance
I prefer the "big" shipgirls, that's the reason
How far do you think I can push with this fleet?
and should I be making a fleet 2 at world 9 or not yet?
I'm no expert at this but having a fleet no.2 is always good.
its fine to start with second fleet atp ye
also make nelson flag, or your backline is dead in w10/w11
most importantly, retrofit your unicorn
not sure if I even have good enough fleets to make a fleet 2 tbh, still less than 2 weeks in
You don't have to rush clear all maps, take your time and enjoy event reruns too.
put nelson in flag and you will probably be able to one fleet push to ch 11 or 12 with enough level
I'm trying but X-4 aren't dropping all the parts I need 
its fine, just boost them to a level they can survive in with exp pack, then throw them into 9-1 until theyre arnd same level as your fleet 1
you can also move your amagi into your fleet 2
I mean there's also permanent previous event maps you could try and play around as well, some got decent weapon and shipgirl drop
your fleet 2 will be your boss fleet
where should I be grinding, cause I do 3-4 on hard or should I be doing hard maps in order?
Fleet 1 is usually clearing and survival fleet.
Fleet 2 focus on DPS and some tankiness to clear boss fights.
highest stage you can, more core data
For hard maps it's better the highest hard map you can clear since core data is limited each month while the store got lots of useful gears


then
